Re: What's the word on sythetic oil?

I would say if you engine is fairly new (less than 15,000 miles), feel free to change over to full synthetic. I generally switch over at around 5,000 miles to full synthetic and for many years with many different cars I have gone with 5,000 mile change intervals (which generally worked out to three times a year for me since I averaged about 15K miles per years)without any engine problems in any of my cars during the past 18 years I have been using synthetics.

A blend oil would be good for a car that already has a few miles on it or a new engine... change intervals with these oils can easily go 5K too.

Of course, always change your oil filter with each oil change! :-)

P.S. What kind of car is this 4 banger in!
